Best Masters in Merchandising in Spain 2017. Master's in Design of Commercial Spaces and Visual Merchandising
The Master's in the Design of Commercial Spaces and Visual Merchandising (60 ECTS) is obtained by completing two postgraduate degrees, for 30 ECTS each. These postgraduate degrees may be completed in the same academic year, or in different years. All postgraduate courses that are part of a master's degree can be taken independently.
PRESENTATION
Commercial spaces are currently the scene of a social activity on which a considerable part of the economy rests: the consumer society. The products we consume travel a long way before they reach our hands. Manufacturers, distributors, businessmen, marketing procedures, etc., are involved in this process. However, the space in which consumer products are brought together is also an important area for corporate image, and the responsibility for this falls on the interior designer who designs this setting.
Designers of interior spaces should no longer limit their concerns to the construction conditions of the space and the location in order to optimize and make the most of the resources that have been invested in the premises. The characteristics of the product and the consumer to whom it is aimed, the business model that comes from the commercial space itself, the marketing used for the positioning of the product and the point of sale have become parameters of significant relevance during the design process that this postgraduate course deals with.
Unlike the postgraduate course on Visual Merchandising, whose purpose is to define the discipline of the professional in charge of managing the point of sale, the postgraduate course in Design of Commercial Spaces establishes the scope of the work of the designer of interior spaces in the specific terms of the design methods, where commercial spaces are regarded as a specific type of interior design.
GENERAL AIMS OF THE TRAINING
The purpose of this postgraduate course is to make an extensive study of commercial spaces and all the parameters that currently influence the process of creating a point of sale design: from Retail Marketing strategies to the demands of actually producing the design.
